Soul is crowded with beautiful voices who set their sights no higher than singing sweet nothings. Having left her major label for an independent after her 2003 Mobo and Mercury prize nominated debut (Untitled) and its botched crowd-pleaser follow-up (L.O.V.E.) failed to break her out of the club circuit, this Brit-soul princess is looking to the songs, rather than production gimmicks, to improve her fortunes. Tugging the heartstrings, I Don't Care and The Truth are late-night farewells to lost love, while No Matter Whatever affectingly offers a shoulder to a friend in need. The boudoir numbers, which include a rap by TY, neither arouse nor embarrass, while the whole, produced by the same team as Untitled, sounds good at an intimate, low volume but increasingly thin and flat the louder you hear it. Walker sings beautifully throughout; she may yet make a classic.
